Psalm 108:5–12

5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;

let your glory be over all the earth.

6 Save us and help us with your right hand,

that those you love may be delivered.

7 God has spoken from his sanctuary:

“In triumph I will parcel out Shechem

and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth.

8 Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine;

Ephraim is my helmet,

Judah is my scepter.

9 Moab is my washbasin,

on Edom I toss my sandal;

over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

10 Who will bring me to the fortified city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

11 Is it not you, God, you who have rejected us

and no longer go out with our armies?

12 Give us aid against the enemy,

for human help is worthless.

5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens:

And thy glory above all the earth;

6 That thy beloved may be delivered:

Save with thy right hand, and answer me.

7 God hath spoken in his holiness;

I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem,

And mete out the valley of Succoth.

8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;

Ephraim also is the strength of mine head;

Judah is my lawgiver;

9 Moab is my washpot;

Over Edom will I cast out my shoe;

Over Philistia will I triumph.

10 Who will bring me into the strong city?

Who will lead me into Edom?

11 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off?

And wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?

12 Give us help from trouble:

For vain is the help of man.

5 Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens.

May your glory shine over all the earth.

6 Now rescue your beloved people.

Answer and save us by your power.

7 God has promised this by his holiness:

“I will divide up Shechem with joy.

I will measure out the valley of Succoth.

8 Gilead is mine,

and Manasseh, too.

Ephraim, my helmet, will produce my warriors,

and Judah, my scepter, will produce my kings.

9 But Moab, my washbasin, will become my servant,

and I will wipe my feet on Edom

and shout in triumph over Philistia.”

10 Who will bring me into the fortified city?

Who will bring me victory over Edom?

11 Have you rejected us, O God?

Will you no longer march with our armies?

12 Oh, please help us against our enemies,

for all human help is useless.

5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,

And Your glory above all the earth;

6 That Your beloved may be delivered,

Save with Your right hand, and hear me.

7 God has spoken in His holiness:

“I will rejoice;

I will divide Shechem

And measure out the Valley of Succoth.

8 Gilead is Mine; Manasseh is Mine;

Ephraim also is the helmet for My head;

Judah is My lawgiver.

9 Moab is My washpot;

Over Edom I will cast My shoe;

Over Philistia I will triumph.”

10 Who will bring me into the strong city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

11 Is it not You, O God, who cast us off?

And You, O God, who did not go out with our armies?

12 Give us help from trouble,

For the help of man is useless.

5 God, you are supreme above the skies.

Let your glory be over all the earth.

6 Answer us and save us by your power

so the people you love will be rescued.

7 God has said from his Temple,

“When I win, I will divide Shechem

and measure off the Valley of Succoth.

8 Gilead and Manasseh are mine.

Ephraim is like my helmet.

Judah holds my royal scepter.

9 Moab is like my washbowl.

I throw my sandals at Edom.

I shout at Philistia.”

10 Who will bring me to the strong, walled city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

11 God, surely you have rejected us;

you do not go out with our armies.

12 Help us fight the enemy.

Human help is useless,

5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens,

And thy glory above all the earth.

6 That thy beloved may be delivered,

Save with thy right hand, and answer us.

7 God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult;

I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;

Ephraim also is the defence of my head;

Judah is my sceptre.

9 Moab is my washpot;

Upon Edom will I cast my shoe;

Over Philistia will I shout.

10 Who will bring me into the fortified city?

Who hath led me unto Edom?

11 Hast not thou cast us off, O God?

And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.

12 Give us help against the adversary;

For vain is the help of man.

5 Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God, and thy glory above all the earth.

6 That thy beloved ones may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me. 7 God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. 8 Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver; 9 Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; over Philistia will I shout aloud. 10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom? 11 Wilt not thou, O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies? 12 Give us help from trouble; for vain is man’s deliverance.

5 May you be honored above the heavens, O God. 

Let your glory extend over the whole earth. 

6 Save ⸤us⸥ with your powerful hand, and answer us 

so that those who are dear to you may be rescued. 

7 God has promised the following through his holiness: 

“I will triumph! 

I will divide Shechem. 

I will measure the valley of Succoth. 

8 Gilead is mine. 

Manasseh is mine. 

Ephraim is the helmet on my head. 

Judah is my scepter. 

9 Moab is my washtub. 

I will throw my shoe over Edom. 

I will shout in triumph over Philistia.” 

10 Who will bring me into the fortified city? 

Who will lead me to Edom? 

11 Isn’t it you, O God, who rejected us? 

Isn’t it you, O God, who refused to accompany our armies? 

12 Give us help against the enemy 

because human assistance is worthless. 

5 God, be exalted above the heavens,

and let Your glory be over the whole earth.

6 Save with Your right hand and answer me

so that those You love may be rescued.

7 God has spoken in His sanctuary:

“I will triumph!

I will divide up Shechem.

I will apportion the Valley of Succoth.

8 Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine,

and Ephraim is My helmet;

Judah is My scepter.

9 Moab is My washbasin;

I throw My sandal on Edom.

I shout in triumph over Philistia.”

10 Who will bring me to the fortified city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

11 God, haven’t You rejected us?

God, You do not march out with our armies.

12 Give us aid against the foe,

for human help is worthless.

5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,

and let your glory be over all the earth.

6 Give victory with your right hand, and answer me,

so that those whom you love may be rescued.

7 God has promised in his sanctuary:

“With exultation I will divide up Shechem

and portion out the Vale of Succoth.

8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;

Ephraim is my helmet;

Judah is my scepter.

9 Moab is my washbasin;

on Edom I hurl my shoe;

over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

10 Who will bring me to the fortified city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

11 Have you not rejected us, O God?

You do not go out, O God, with our armies.

12 O grant us help against the foe,

for human help is worthless.

5 Be exalted above the heavens, O God,

and let your glory be above all the earth,

6 so that your beloved ones may be rescued.

Save by your right hand and answer me.

7 God has spoken in his holiness,

“I will exult, I will divide up Shechem,

and portion out the valley of Succoth.

8 Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine.

And Ephraim is the helmet for my head.

Judah is my scepter;

9 Moab is my washing pot.

Over Edom I will cast my sandal;

Over Philistia I will shout in triumph.”

10 Who will bring me to the fortified city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

11 Have you not rejected us, O God,

and not gone out with our armies, O God?

12 Give us help against the enemy,

for the help of humankind is futile.

5 God, may you be honored above the heavens.

Let your glory be over the whole earth.

6 Save us. Help us with your powerful right hand,

so that those you love may be saved.

7 God has spoken from his temple.

He has said, “I will win the battle.

Then I will divide up the land around Shechem.

I will divide up the Valley of Succoth.

8 Gilead belongs to me. So does the land of Manasseh.

Ephraim is the strongest tribe. It is like a helmet for my head.

Judah is the royal tribe. It is like a ruler’s staff.

9 Moab serves me like one who washes my feet.

I toss my sandal on Edom to show that I own it.

I shout to Philistia that I have won the battle.”

10 Who will bring me to the city that has high walls around it?

Who will lead me to the land of Edom?

11 God, isn’t it you, even though you have now turned away from us?

Isn’t it you, even though you don’t lead our armies into battle anymore?

12 Help us against our enemies.

The help people give doesn’t amount to anything.

5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,

And Your glory above all the earth.

6 That Your beloved may be delivered,

Save with Your right hand, and answer me!

7 God has spoken in His holiness:

“I will exult, I will portion out Shechem

And measure out the valley of Succoth.

8 “Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine;

Ephraim also is the helmet of My head;

Judah is My scepter.

9 “Moab is My washbowl;

Over Edom I shall throw My shoe;

Over Philistia I will shout aloud.”

10 Who will bring me into the besieged city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

11 Have not You Yourself, O God, rejected us?

And will You not go forth with our armies, O God?

12 Oh give us help against the adversary,

For deliverance by man is in vain.
